Robin Whitlock

I'm a mature graduate having received a BA (Hons) in Psychology & English from Bath Spa University. After graduation I'm hoping to find an ethical career of some kind, possibly somewhere or something to do with literature and the environment.

My environmental objectives: To do my best to encourage awareness, discussion and debate, and hopefully some form of remedial action.

People I admire: Martin Luther King, Gandhi, George Monbiot, Petra Kelly, George Orwell,

Things I would like to change: Climate change, peak oil, whaling, deforestation,

Activities: Member of Bath Green Party and occasional attendee of Bath Green Drinks.

Interests: Environmental and social issues, cycling, walking, steam railways, literature, mythology and history, castles, conservation

Favourite music: All sorts, except RnB, Hip Hop and Rap. Don't like bland pop much either.

Favourite films: Zulu, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Dances With Wolves, Last of the Dogmen, Rob Roy, Educating Rita, Dead Poets Society, LA Confidential, The Searchers, Cheyenne Autumn, Stakeout

Favourite TV shows: The Bill, Spooks, Time Team

Favourite quotes: "Well chin, chin, carry on with your mud pie" (from 'Zulu'),
"Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head. And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything" ('As You Like It')

Political views: Green politics. Member of the UK Green Party

Hi Robin
We are removing this campaign as it is out of date. Unfortunately this part of the M1 gained planning permission and is going ahead. regards
